Heinrich Glarean was born at Mollis in 1488. His recorded nationality is Switzerland. He studied at Universitas Studii Coloniensis.
Recovered classical texts and the printing press reopened questions that had been treated as settled for centuries.
His academic posts were held at University of Freiburg.

Heinrich Glarean died in 1563, aged 75. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
